Made for the Clair Obscur Secret Santa 2025 event!

My prompt was Sciel teaching Lune how to dance, but I couldn't resist adding a flip side in which Lune teaches Sciel the guitar 💙

Papercutting art of two scenes set in the Clair Obscur world. At the top, Sciel is teaching Lune how to dance in the Sirene world, cut paper pasted on an orange watercolour background. At the bottom, Lune is teaching Sciel the guitar at their camp, cut paper pasted on a blue watercolour background.

Thanks for having me in the Calendar again. It was an honor and a blast making this ♥

I'm late with these, but here are a few highlights from Urban Makers Christmas Market 🎄

I listened to a mom and daughter strategise in front of my keychains for ten minutes before choosing which ones were going to which family member. Sounded intense (1/4)

Les envolées de grues, ce sont des suspensions décoratives constituées de 300 petites grues . Et je peux vous assurer que ça rend magnifiquement bien . Elles sont disponibles en plusieurs tons . La suspension est toute légère et se suspend à un crochet auto collant.

Finished! Hollow Knight Queen's Garden shadow box ✨️

I had memories of really struggling with the first version of this box, but making it again, it felt easy and enjoyable. Could it be that I've improved 🤔

All layers done ✨️
The dualliste is a bit too wobbly with all layers spaced out (more than Lune, surprisingly), I'll need to glue his sword against something to keep him steady. Other than that, very pleased with this!

Really loving the color-coordinating mount! (And planning to paint the frames too)

Ok this is fully delightful - Hans Christian Anderson loved to entertain people while telling his stories by simultaneously hand-cutting decorative paper art

persephonebooks.co.uk/blogs/the-pe...
a square piece of pale cream paper on a green background which has been charmingly hand-cut out to show dancing people, feathers, small mushrooms and smiling faces. Sadly some of the dancing men have 'chinese' hats on, which the artist must not have realized was racist. The style is turn of the 19-20th century.
